Awesome !!!! thank you all  Ok how about this visitor thing ? any links to it , no idea what that is and how to use it in pharo. Is it a way to code like continuations ? I didn't understand visitor patten until I read "Design Patterns Smalltalk Companion" [1] [1]  http://amzn.com/0201184621 About LLVM sound very cool and I was googling about that few hours ago but from what I have read is a very undocumented part of LLVM so that maybe easier said than done. Looks like Pharo is not the only project having issues with documentation ;) So it looks like I will be sticking with Pharo after all :D As I said in another thread.  Life is a long and winding road.  Looks like you might have found another shortcut. cheers -ben On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 2:28 PM, Serge Stinckwich <serge.stinckw...@gmail.com> wrote: On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 12:31 PM, p...@highoctane.be <p...@highoctane.be> wrote: > On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 11:33 AM, Serge Stinckwich > <serge.stinckw...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 11:28 AM, Santiago Bragagnolo >> <santiagobragagn...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >  I may be wrong, but I think the closest thing out there is Slang.

Yes, interesting idea, instead of generating strings! -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
